A Poetic Tribute to Purebred Dogs

We’re excited to share a special celebration of Canada’s recognized purebred dog breeds through the power of poetry. 
 

Author and lifelong dog lover Colleen Rutherford Archer has created a remarkable collection of short, witty, and informative poemsone for every purebred breed recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club. Drawing on her decades of experience as a writer and her deep affection for dogs, Colleen’s verses are a joyful tribute to the history, personality, and charm of each breed. 
 

Discover Colleen’s inspiration, research process, and favourite breed discoveries in our latest blog post: Read the full story on The Dish.
 

Want to read the entire set of breed poems? We’ve gathered them in a PDF booklet (English only) for CKC members to enjoy and share: Download the full poem collection.
 

From the dignified Doberman to the playful Papillon, there’s a poem for everyone.
